FEDERAL FINANCES.

Striugency In the Money Market.

Secretary FairChild Ready to Relieve Any
S~triugency In the Money Market.
NEW YORK. March 26.-Thr Nal and
Erpre<, says that "Mr. IsadOr Wormscr, Of
the banking firm Of |. as. Wormser, went
to Washington on business at the close Of
the week. and during his stay called upon
some of the highest officials of the Govern
ment. As the interest in the money queS-
ton at this and ether leading points, and
the agitation about stringency had reached
the national capital, his opinion on tue
/ situation was naturally sought. Coming
fresh from that great financial center,
Mr.. WorSmcr was requested 10 present
his views in person to Acting Secretary Of
the Treasury Fairchild. with whom a CON
ference was readily had. The banker
| plainly told the Secretary that, while We
might tide over the summer months with
out serious trouble, the contraction al na-
tional bank notes, growing out Of the call
ing in of the 3 per cents, and the failure
Of Congress To pass certain Appropriation
bills and TO adopt other necessary measures
to release the surplus in the Treasury,
would undoubtedly lead To II crisis IN the
fall unless the department should come tn
the relief of the market, failing In which
a special session Of Congress would '
to be called. Mr.. Fairchild answered, IN
substance, that he possessed ample au-
thority to relieve any money pressure
that may arise, and that he would use his
powers in case OF stringency. He went on
to say that he was depOsiting receipts
from internal revenue and the general lee
fund in the designated rational-bank de-
poSitOries, and, in reply ~ an interrogi'
ton as to the probable extent OF such de
posits stated that they might reach SD
COZ, OO0, but. if it was absolutely necessary,
he could make them three times thai
amount. The banker then dilated upor
the scarcity of Government bonds abroad
and spoke of the difficulty of obtaining /:
round lot in London, whereupOn the Sec
rotary remarked that the national bank
held large amounts of these bonds. Al
these u~tteranceS, coming from so high
source, are of prime importance just nov a
foreshadOwing the policy Of the Govern
ment on the money question

The Fishery RuunpuS.

ST.. john, y. T., March 26.-The active
measures taken to protect the Canadian
fisheries, and the probability that further
harrassing restrictions will lie placed upon
United States fishermen, has caused an un-
easy feeling among u shipping men lest
the Retaliation bill adopted recently by
Congress should be put into effect.
4 prominent member OF the Board OF
Trade says that the probable result ofthe
retaliatory policy will be to compel owners
of Canadian vessels to transfer their regis
try to England and thus throw upon Eng
land the responsibility OF their protection.
The three-mile limit, he thought, should
be jealouSly guarded, - far rs fishing was
concerned. but no embargo should lie
placed upon the sale Of halt or any other
commodity that Was wanted 10y the
American fishermen.

Secretary Fairchild the Manifestations
Contingent on the Exchange.
WASHINGTON, D. c., March 26.-it is
now regarded as settled that Assistant
Secretary Fairchild will succeed MI. Man.
ming as Secretary Of the Treasury, and
that his appointment will be officially an
nounced the latter part of next week.
Solicitor McCue and Comptroller Maynard
are spoken of as possible successors of Mr..
Fairchild as Assistant Secretary. The
former, however, is said to prefer the new
Circuit Judgeship III New York City, and
the latter is understood to prefer his
present position. In the event that Cor
pOration Counsel Lacombe, of New York,
should receive the Circuit Judgeship, it is
believed that Mr.. McCue would accept
the Assistant Secretaryship. Third Aud
itor Williams and Chief Clerk Youmans
are also said TO be aSpirants to that Office.
Nothing has yet been settled in regard to
the Treasuryship. Jordan's resignation
has not yet been accepted, and while he re-
quested the President TO relieve him Of the
duties and responsibilities of the office
about the Sd of April it is thought he
would consent. to retain the position a
while longer if the President so desired.
The chances are, however, that the Presi-
dent will be abie to select his successor
before the date specified by Mr.. Jordan.
1t is said that the President desires To Sc
lect a new Treasurer from the West.

account OF the earthquake which occurred
at that city on the sd OF February last.
Hathaway states that the phenomena were
most distinctly perceived at three minutes
TO . o'clock in the morning. The yibra-
tons were vertical, Longitudinal and
transyersal, and of not less than
thirty seconds in duration. The massive
stone buildings of the city were then
moved, lifted and shaken, ~ it seemed to
their occupants, like ships at sen or trees

habitants at the time were YEARLY sleep
after the excitement and festivities OF
the carnival. The first shock was fol-
by another of somewhat lesSened
intensity, undulating from east to west,
and accompanied by 4 noise in the
mir like the blowing of the mistral.
The sound OF falling walls and
the terrified voices OF the people
mingled in alarm. The sky became illu-
mined with "A red glimmering light, appar-
emily electrical in quality and unusual at
dawn. The entire population, half cloth
ed. were in the streets. Many were quiet,
firm and COURAGEOUS, others were trem-
bling and unnerved. At tue city at five
minutes past eight o'clock a. III a third
shock was felt more intense than the
preceding ones, which cOnSumma-
ted the excitement. The railway
station became crowded with IugitiveS,
looking for escape to MarSeilles and Paris,
some Sought the more open streets and
the public squares; i few obtained car
riages Tor shelter and some less fearful,

and cloudless. Happily but one life was

PATCHOGUE, l.. l., March 26.-The
steamer Scotia pounded heavily during the
night and worked over the outer bar and

who were brought to the beach yesterday
were furnished with shelter and food and
made rs comfortable rs possible under the
circumstances. The present condition OF
the vessel will prevent her from being
readily hauled off. The wreckiugtugs will
endeavor to anchor her to preyent her
from working further in shore.
The weather is fine, but the sea Is rough.
The hreeches buoy and life boats are both
busy landing passengers.
All the ScOtia'S passengers were safely
on shore by > O'Clock p. NJ. and the reve-
nue. cutter L. :. Grant with 25O OF them
on board, started for New York shortly
afterwards, the others are being conveyed

THE VARSITY RACE.

Oxford Broke an Oar-Details of the Race
Cambridge Wins.
LONDON, March 26.-Following are the
latest details of the race between the
crews of Oxford and Cambridge Universe.
ties, which took place on the Thames
to-day:
When the crews launched their boats,
Just prior to the start, the weather threat
ened rain. When the signal for the race
was given the Cambridge crew at once
took the lead, rowing with a slightly
more rapid stroke than that used by their
opponents. At the end of the first
mile the Cambridge was a half
length ahead, the race having been
stubbornly contested all the way. The
Oxfords then spurtcd. To this the Cam
bridge men responded instantly and effect
lively, so that at Hammersmith bridge,
nearly two miles from the start, they had
increased their lead to a whole boat length.
Here the Oxford crew again put a fresh
burst to their speed and drew up towards
their opponents. but managed to cut down
only a part of the lead against them.
At Chiswick the Oxfords had improved
their rowing 50 much that the Cambridge
men, in their efforts to retain their lead,
rowed a%'little wildly and finally splash
ed; but they recovered themselves
quickly and by a supreme effort
made up their loss and regained
their length of lead which had been
somewhat curtaiIed, although their boat
rolled Il good deal under the inequality
of the efforts OF the crew. On nearing
Barnes bridge Cambridge recovered, and
rowing n steadicr stroke, passed that point
a length ahead. Oxford here made another
effort, but inst beyond Barnes one OF her
nars unfortunately snapped and the race
then became II certainty for Cambridge,
who won easily by three lengths.
The race up to the point where Oxford
broke IN oar was an excellent one. The
Oxford crew certainly rowed better to-
gcthcr than the Cambridge, but they lost
several lengths through bad steering.

The River Falling at Bismarck. but Gorged

BISMARCK, DAK., March 2G.-The river
is falling rapidly aud workmen have been
engaged to-day in repairing the Northern
Pacific bridge. No trains can run OveT
the bridge before Monday, but
transfer is being satisfactorily made
by boats. 4 citizen of Me-
Lean county brings intelligence that
the gorge seven miles below Washburne is
six miles wide and the water covers the
prairie Tor miles. If this is true then the
worst has not come, and the present fall in
the river here is simply the result of the
upper gorge. The Sibley island gorge is
firm. Snow has been falling for fifteen
hours and this will greatly increase the
volume Of water.
YANEToN, OAK, March 26.-The Mis-
souri, river is still rising here and the
water is backed in TO the James river, four
miles east. Reports say it is nearly on II
level with the bridge. The Milwaukee
road track Mt Burbank, about forty miles
east of the Sioux City and Dakota branch,
is washed out, and trains are abandoned,
passengers being brought via Marion aud
Scotland. The water is thought 10 be at
its height now, and no serious damage IL
a~pprchended, ~ the ice is all out.

THE BOODLERS
WHAT WILL THE HARVEST BRING
In the Way Of Future Proceedings in the
Doodle Gases?

NEW YORK, March 26.-The question
that is agitating doodle circles at present
is who will District Attorney MARITIME call
to the bar on Monday. His mysterious
motions to-day before Judge Barrett have
given no one a definite clew; but those
who know say that the guarded manner in
which Mr.. MARITIME acted to-day shows
conclusively that Thomas Cleary's trial
will not be called then. Neither will
Charlie" Reilly be brought to the bar,
but one Of the alleged bride givers will
have to come to the front. 1t is under
stood that it will be either the arch con-
spiratOr Jake" Sharp or the ex-President
of the Broadway road, James A. Rich
mond.
Mr.. MARITIME mel with somewhat of
ASSET BACH
at the hands of Judge Barrett. The Court
of Oyer and Termincr was, after the Cleary
jury were discharged, adjourned until ii
o'clock. 1t was noon before Mr.. MARITIME
appeared. He was followed in "A few min
utes by the Judge. Mr.. MARITIME requested
that the court adjourn over until Monday,
when he hoped to have certain matters in
a more definite shape. To this Judge
Barrett replied by asking whether there
would be any business then. Upon Mr..
Marines telling him that he would then
make some definite move looking toward
the bringing of some case before the court
for trial, Judge Barrett said: ''You are per-
haps aware that next week is the last week
of the term ~
Mr.. MARITIME answered that he was
aware of this, and also said: "My desire
for adiouming the court till Monday is to
get certain matters before Your Honor
and dispose of any preliminary motions
or hindrances that may arise, that we can
begin work either next week or imme-
diately upon the opening of the April

Judge Barrett then adjourned the court
until monday morning at II o'clock, with
the understanding that Mr.. MARITIME was
to have some other Judge to take his
place. Next month Presiding Judge Van
Brunt, of the Supreme Court, will hold
Oyer and Terminer. Mr.. MARITIME says:
MY plans are not yet fully maturcd. !
